Congratulations on your engagement! And thank you so much for considering me as the photographer for your special day.
I know how important it is to find a perfect match when it comes to your wedding photographer. You’re letting them in to document one of the most intimate days of your life.
So, to help you decide if we are the right fit, let me tell you a little bit about me and my style...

I’ve always loved telling stories, which I think is what I love the most about wedding photography. It is such a privilege being entrusted to capture each individual story - and no two weddings are ever the same.
I have a completely unobtrusive style of shooting. Rather than forcing poses I prefer to take a step back and capture the natural flow of the day as it happens. It is my own little mission with every single wedding to document the little moments and the big moments in between; the smiles, tears, laughter, and love - real, beautiful love.
And my favourite part of the job is knowing that months, years, or even a decade from now, my clients will be able to look back at the images I captured for them and remember all the little stories from their day.
So, if the above sounds like the match you’re after with your photographer, then let’s chat!

Some nice things my clients have said

"Emily was the photographer at our wedding in Featherston. She was the consummate professional and the photographs she took speak for themselves in terms of her talent. So many people have commented on how amazing the photographs are including friends who work in design or photography themselves. Having Emily there while we were getting ready was like having another friend around. She is fun, easy going, and fitted in seamlessly. She was perfect at knowing when to take charge and when to stay in the background. My parents loved her and the guests thought she was great. She is definitely a star on the rise and I know we were lucky to get her before there is so much demand for her services that she'll be turning people away.”

“Emily truly is a fantastic photographer. Her style, bubbliness and sense of calm made our day and photos carefree and fun. She was very professional and made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera. While we were getting ready she was like a fly on the wall. She truly captured the essence of our wedding. I will be forever thankful to Emily for capturing our day. I feel so lucky to have so many beautiful and artistic photos to look back on, I couldn’t of asked for a better person to capture our day.”

“Emily didn't just produce some amazing photos of our wedding that we will enjoy forever, she captured some incredibly valuable moments and with a style that we love. Just as important for us though, Emily was great to deal with both in the lead up and on the day. We felt like we made a true friend in Emily, and and having her around on the day was a pleasure. Her organisation and direction was clear, she worked so hard and obviously has a real passion for her work. She had some great ideas and epic skills that resulted in great shots and a whole lot of fun on the day. Thanks Emily, we couldn't be happier with the photos and with your service.”

“Hamish and I got married in November 2013. The wedding was a fairly simple, low key affair. We were recommended Emily, and when we checked out her portfolio I could see why! I got in contact with her, and was really impressed by the speed in which she was able to get back to me and answer my ques- tions. Emily met me for a coffee to discuss what we were after, and after that meeting I felt confident we'd picked the right person. I couldn’t have asked for nicer photos, they captured the day perfectly. We’ve had lots of comments that the photos are great because they don’t look ‘staged’, and I couldn’t agree more. It’s obvious that Emily isn’t just doing this as a job, it’s a true passion, and we were really honoured to have her as part of our big day.”New List Item
